I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but I really enjoyed these scones. The lemon butter really balances out the sweetness of the scones.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with chopped dried cranberries. The scones were still very tasty.

I didn't have any lemon butter on hand, so I just served the scones with cream cheese. They were still delicious!

The scones were a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the batter.

These scones are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
